What are some of the worst mistakes an accident victim can make?

 Accident victims generally need the assistance of an experienced Chiropractor to facilitate healing of the damaged tissue, help ease the suffering and document the injuries.

Without the proper documentation, your injury does not exist!

We have also found that an experienced personal injury attorney to help protect your rights and the value of your claim is a great idea.

Accident claims can be very complicated and it is easy to make a mistake which could cost you dearly.

Here are a few of the most common mistakes we see:

1. Give statements to an insurance adjuster regarding how the accident happened.
2. Sign an authorization for the release of medical records.
3. Delay getting medical treatment promptly after an accident.
4. Failing to get photographs of damage to all vehicles.
5. Failing to follow doctor's orders to stay off work.
6. Talking to neighbors about the accident or injuries.
7. Failing to get Uninsured Motorist benefits.
8. Failing to keep medical appointments.
9. Failing to correct errors in a police report.
10. Failing to retain the proper experts ( Barton Chiropractic) to prove and document a claim.

Good advice as it most often takes 24 to 72 hours for soft tissue injuries to become symptomatic following a vehiclular accident.
